I Have a 2001 HD F150 current mods are installed on the truck are bbk underive pulleys and throttle body 75mm. Flowtech headers with magnaflow header back. SCT iTSX tuner, K&N Cool Air Intake Kit Accel Coils Autolite Iriduim Plugs. I have the following sitting on the shelf waiting for install TFS Track Heat 185 with 38cc. Comp Cams 102200 268h cams and F-Series Zex Nitrous System. My questions are would a benefit from a lightning MAF? I know it is a quite bigger then the factory 5.4 N/a MAF sensor. Also has anyone used the 4.6 to 5.4 intake adapter and plates?

 

Also How Much Hp can a stock 5.4 intake handle safely

 

Your getting into custom PCM program tuning with those mods.
NX may require ignition retarding. You have no way to do that.
Throwing parts togather without paying attention to detail is a recipe for blowing things up.
Better consult a shop that specilizes in these sort of modifications.
We can't be of accurate help here on a board.
For what your attempting, you should consider forged pistons, better head gaskets and a dyno/program tune as min.
Also, will the transmission take the abuse without being performance built?
The converter is only good for about 5500 rpm and only just so much engine torque before it might ballon from the pressure of NX applications.
I bring all this up because I would expect to break things often without bringing everything along togather as an overall project, plus getting quite expensive.
Good luck.

 

SCT is custom tunable and MPT will be doing them. I work for Advance Auto Parts I have performance head gaskets. My truck has the 4R100 built not worried about my transmission at all. My questions are based on feedback and opinions.

Why not just do a forced induction set up? with all the expense of having the custom tuning done and dyno time just do a top end Eaton swap and should give you all the power you desire.

 

Multiple reasons. I had a 2003 Cobra with that Eaton and The supercharger was truly a Piece of Junk. You still have to custom tune a supercharged engine. Trick Flows heads with Comp Cams yield more rwhp then a eaton swap. Not to mention having 125 hp at the flip of a switch while retaining some of my gas mileage.
